Understand the Psychology behind Dealing with Difficult People

How to Positively Handle Difficult People

INTRODUCTION

“You’ve always got to work with the best if you can, and of course, the best are the best because they are different. They expect certain standards and they are usually very difficult people to work with.” Malcolm McDowell
